Moreover, we are also excited to support the country by helping build capacity in its professional services industry.”

The establishment of the ICF will connect Myanmar Vigour with access to a global network of professionals in over 150 countries. The firm will continue to be led by founder Soe Win, a leader in the industry with over 30 years’ experience of the local regulatory and market environment. The firm has delivered exemplary professional services to both multi-national companies and local clients since 2003.
